Basics of skills

When you do the tutorial you will already learn your first skill by reading a book but normal skill in the dungeon don't work like that.

You get 1 SP (skill point) per level (This will change in the full release) every SP will allow you to unlock a new skill, every skill has an active and a passive.

The active of a skill need to be dragged down to the hotbar to be used, it may cost mana and/or give you a buff the buffs will run out over turns, sometimes you need to do a special action before a stack goes away. The passive is different for every skill just like the active, the passive can give you a bonus like a 100% critical on unaware enemies and some even an extra stat bonus like +3 mana. Also in up coming versions(alpha, beta and early access) there will be more tiers of skill so you can master one skill.
